I agree. I have written large applications with client-side rendering and they do get very complex. I am still just trying to debate the topic rather than claim to know the answer.
If you still don't see any value in these tools, don't use them.
All I'll say is this:
In my experience, people tend to consider their applications to be simple enough that a simple solution is sufficient.
However, in reality, that seldom seems to be the case.
UI is hard to get right, and has a tendency to drift towards complexity over time as more features are added: I can think of several people who have picked the naive simple solution and regretted it later; to the point of rewrite in some cases.
People who picked the complicated solution sometimes regretted the extra burden of complexity, but I don't think I've ever seen this as a cause for large scale failure or rewrite.
